**List: Xhosa Ministry
Bible ( weBhaybhile )
(Isi)Xhosa...
"Xhosa, formerly known as Kaffir, is spoken
by about 3.5 million
people in southwestern Cape Province (primarily the Transkei,
formerly known as Kaffraria), of the
Republic of South Africa.
Dialectal differences are now slight, possibly because of the
existence of a considerable body of vernacular literature in a
more or less standardized literary idiom. Xhosa is a Bantu tongue,
related to Zulu and
Swazi."--1000 Tongues, 1972

"Spoken by perhaps 250,000
people in East
Griqualand, between Basutoland and the Pacific
